Cubo al MareNoto, Sicily

Situated hillside along the rocky coast of Lido di Noto, Sicily, the ivory cubic structure of Cubo al Mare emerges from the emerald landscape like a fallen cloud. Inside, the open ground-level layout flows from the kitchen's stainless steel appliances to the sleek, white dining table and the soft, white sofa in the living room, where floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors allow the space to fill with light.

Up a winding staircase, two minimalist bedrooms make the scenery the star. The waist-to-ceiling windows yield awe-inspiring views of the land, sky, and sea. Up another flight of stairs is an open-air terrace, with a dining table for six and cushioned loungers for sunbathing to the soundtrack of the waves crashing below. Outside, stairs lead to the water and huge, smooth-surfaced boulders—the perfect locale for relaxing in the sun with the sea at your feet.
